Abstract

Abstract Photographic compound (A) capable of releasing a development inhibitor group by means of a displacement reaction enables increased image acutance when the compound contains in a coupling position a coupling-off group represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein X, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and Q are as defined in the application. Such a compound (A) is useful in a photographic silver halide material and process.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A photographic element comprising a support bearing at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer and at least one development inhibitor releasing compound (A) represented by the formula CAR--LINK--Q where CAR is a carrier moiety capable of releasing LINK--Q during photographic processing upon reaction with oxidized developing agent; LINK--Q is in turn capable of releasing a development inhibitor group (Q) by a displacement reaction; and LINK--Q is represented by the formula: ##STR28## wherein X represents the atoms necessary to complete an unsubstituted or substituted arylene or heterocyclic group; R 1 and R 2 individually are hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl, or together complete a 5-, 6- or 7-member ring; R 7 and R 8 individually are hydrogen, alkyl or aryl or together complete a ring; R 4 is hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, or aryl; and Q is a releasable development inhibitor group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 147 words
A photographic element comprising a support bearing at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer and at least one development inhibitor releasing compound (A) represented by the formula CAR--LINK--Q where CAR is a carrier moiety capable of releasing LINK--Q during photographic processing upon reaction with oxidized developing agent; LINK--Q is in turn capable of releasing a development inhibitor group (Q) by a displacement reaction; and LINK--Q is represented by the formula: ##STR28## wherein X represents the atoms necessary to complete an unsubstituted or substituted arylene or heterocyclic group; R 1 and R 2 individually are hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aryl, or together complete a 5-, 6- or 7-member ring; R 7 and R 8 individually are hydrogen, alkyl or aryl or together complete a ring; R 4 is hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, or aryl; and Q is a releasable development inhibitor group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A photographic element as in claim 1 wherein the compound (A) is a dye-forming coupler.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 93 words
A photographic element as in claim 1 wherein the LINK--Q is represented by the formula: ##STR29## wherein R 6 is hydrogen, nitro (--NO 2 ), a substituted or unsubstituted sulfonamido group, a substituted or unsubstituted sulfamyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted carbonamido group or a substituted or unsubstituted carbamyl group; R 7 and R 8 individually are hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl or unsubstituted or substituted aryl or together complete a ring; R 9 is hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic or aryl; and Q 1 is a releasable development inhibitor group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 12 words
A photographic element as in claim 1 wherein the LINK--Q is ##STR30##
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 96 words
